Quick answer

For cold-weather Great Lakes Loons games, start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add a fleece or hoodie, and finish with a water-resistant outer shell. Top it with a fitted New Era cap like the Great Lakes Loons New Era Official Dodger Blue GL 59FIFTY Cap for warmth and team spirit. For kids, the Great Lakes Loons New Era Alternate Green 9TWENTY Adjustable Cap - Child offers a flexible fit that works over ears or under a hood.

The three-layer system for Loons game days

Cold-weather baseball gear works best in three layers: a base layer that moves sweat away from your skin, a mid layer that traps heat, and an outer layer that blocks wind and light rain. For a Loons game, your mid layer can be a hoodie or fleece in team colors, and your outer layer can be a packable rain jacket or insulated coat. Avoid cotton as a base layer because it holds moisture and gets cold when you sweat. Instead, choose a synthetic or wool blend. This system lets you adjust as the sun goes down or the wind picks up at the ballpark.

How to pick a cap for cold weather

A cap does more than show team pride—it keeps heat from escaping your head. For cold games, choose a fitted cap that sits snugly without being tight. The Great Lakes Loons New Era Official Dodger Blue GL 59FIFTY Cap comes in sizes 6-7/8 to 8 and is made of 100% polyester, which resists moisture. If you plan to wear a beanie over your cap, size up slightly or choose an adjustable style. For kids, the Great Lakes Loons New Era Alternate Green 9TWENTY Adjustable Cap - Child has a flexible crown and adjustable closure, so it can fit over a thin hood or be worn alone on milder days.

Base layers and tees that work under outerwear

Your base layer should be thin and snug so it doesn't bunch under a jacket. A short-sleeve performance tee works well if you add a fleece or hoodie over it. The Los Angeles Dodgers New Era City Connect Short Sleeve Tee is made from high-quality material for comfort and comes in adult sizes S-3XL. It's a good option for Dodgers and Loons fans who want a lightweight layer that still shows team spirit. If you run cold, choose a long-sleeve synthetic base layer instead, then add your Loons hoodie or jacket on top.

Kid-specific cold-weather gear

Kids lose heat faster than adults, so they need an extra layer. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add a fleece or hoodie, and finish with a water-resistant jacket. For the youngest fans, the Great Lakes Loons Bimm Ridder Infant Velcro Bib - Gray is a practical choice for keeping clean during snacks or messy moments. It's made of 60% cotton and 40% polyester, so it's soft but durable. Pair it with a warm hat and mittens, and bring a blanket for extra coverage in the stroller or seat.

Decision rules for cold-weather Loons gear

  • If the temperature is 50°F or above: Wear a base layer tee and a light hoodie. A fitted cap like the 59FIFTY is enough for your head. You can leave the heavy jacket at home.
  • If the temperature is 40–50°F: Add a fleece mid layer and a wind-resistant outer shell. Choose a cap that covers your ears or add a headband. Layering is key; you can always remove a layer if you get warm.
  • If the temperature is below 40°F: Use a thermal base layer, insulated mid layer, and a waterproof outer jacket. Wear a beanie over your cap or choose a cap with ear flaps. Prioritize warmth and wind protection over style.
  • If you're bringing an infant: Pack a bib like the Bimm Ridder Infant Velcro Bib to keep them clean, and bring a warm blanket and hat. Infants need one more layer than adults.
